The Steelers signed Kwiatkoski to a contract Monday, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports. Kwiatkoski appeared in 12 games with the Falcons last season, where he played exclusively on special teams (227 snaps). Now, he gets a chance to spend the offseason competing for a depth gig in Pittsburgh.

The Falcons released Kwiatkoski on Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports. Kwiatkoski signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in May after appearing in eight games for the Raiders in 2021. He was expected to compete for a depth role at inside linebacker, but the return of Deion Jones made Kwiatkoski the odd man out. The 2016 fourth-round pick will look to find a new NFL opportunity before the start of the 2022 campaign.

Kwiatkoski is signing a one-year contract with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Kwiatkoski appeared in eight games for the Raiders in 2021 while dealing with an ankle issue, and he totaled 21 tackles (13 solo) and a forced fumble. Following two seasons in Las Vegas, the 28-year-old will attempt to carve out a depth role in Atlanta.

Kwiatkoski (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Washington. Kwiatkoski came into the contest with an ankle issue, so there's concern that he may have aggravated his previous injury. The backup linebacker mostly operates on special teams, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on the Raiders' defensive rotations.

Kwiatkoski (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports. The veteran linebacker already missed last week's game against the Bengals, and, in fact, he's yet to play a defensive snap since Week 7 when he featured in 11 of them against the Eagles. Expect Denzel Perryman to act as his replacement again.
